As far back as I can think, I was a sickly child, and after I grew up I continued ailing. Physicians made examinations, and prescribed remedies which I took in large doses, but without experiencing any benefit. My condition grew worse up to the age of nineteen, when I had a bad fall. As I was unconscious, I was taken to a hospital, where I stayed eight weeks, after which time I was dismissed as cured, although I felt very weak. I had, however, to take a position again, but my condition grew so much worse that I was able to do but little work. Magnetic treatment was then recommended and tried, but without any benefit; and another to whom I applied, gave me up.

Through the leading of divine Providence I then heard of Christian Science. I had treatment from a practitioner, and since that time I have been well, and weakness is a thing unknown to me. I have been an adherent of Christian Science for over a year, and I am deeply grateful to God; also to our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for showing us the way of Truth.
